I started smoking at a young age and continued to smoke a pack a day for about 30 years. I tried almost everything out there. I tried cold turkey many, many times. I tried medications prescribed by my doctor. Gum, Patches and all the other crackpot quit smoking methods(hypnosis and laser therapy). The longest I was able to quit cigarettes was about a week. Then About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumour and the alarm bells went off… After my treatments (surgery and chemo)I knew I had to do anything I could do to quit and get healthy again. I tried cold turkey and NRT’s again without success. After that failure I pretty much resigned myself to being a lifetime smoker, for what’s left of it anyway! Then I saw an add on the internet adversing ecigs and started to do research. I didn’t expect it to work for me but I had to try something. After getting my kit in the mail and using it for a day I noticed that I didn’t need a cigarette. Now after 4 months and upgrading my cigalike to a mod and tank system I still have no cravings and have stepped my nicotine level down to almost zero. I don’t know if I will ever stop vaping but I know its a lot healthier than smoking because I feel better! I can breathe,I don’t wheeze, I don’t cough in the mornings and daytime. All of my family and non smoking friends tell me I don’t stink anymore! This product made me healthy… I just cant believe the politicians are trying to regulate them out of existence. I hope my story helps someone understand this and that it is a healthier alternative.
